 Saturday

Have to write in the evening, my bedroom was occupied this morning.

We took a few pictures of the guys last night. Jiji had her camera, but the batteries were low, so we only got about eight pictures altogether. Most of them were Kioko and Washi trying to hide behind each other in the pouch, out on my bed; they didn't like any part of what was going on. Well, besides me, whom they hardly know, there were Jiji and Mike getting in on the action too -- all these strangers! And the overhead light, and the flash ... the list goes on! But we got two that are good enough for my photo album, the one of Washi is a little blurry - those little guys are fast! And then some good ones of Shikoni in bathroom time this morning, playing hide and seek and at the top of the hooks behind the door. He's a real ham, I can tell already! Fearless!
It was a little confusing first getting the pictures to upload -- I didn't realize the "browse" button would take it to My Pictures. After the light bulb went off, the rest of it was easy as it could be.

I'll get myself a digital camera for Christmas and then watch out! Lots of pix, they'll all turn into hams -- oink! Pix in the cage, pix out of the cage, pix of suggies eating, pix of suggies sleeping, playing, planning their world takeover (I should have named them Pinky and the Brain!) - there is no end to the fabulous pix I will take! And I'll be glad if 5% of them are worth keeping.

Dinner last night: leftover turkey and fruit salad sprinkled with sesame seeds, four frozen green beans each, and a small dab of the chicken-corn-squash baby food that came with the new boys. Food dishes this morning: the boys ate every single bite! Shikoni didn't touch the fruit. Every now and then he'll eat some apple, but there's not a lot of fruit he really likes, besides melon and blueberries and mulberries and figs; I'll have to buy some frozen cherries (to try) and blueberries. We can always make a pie or two!

Had to work today for the first time in a week and a half. Boy am I tired. But two days off now, back to the grind on Tuesday. Whoopee!

Raven said my cage set will be ready to mail on Monday. Can't wait, I'm going to split it up between the two cages and give all three boys something new to enjoy. I sure need more pouches now, with 200% more gliders.

That's all for now, going to have some wine and supper and crawl under the blankies - after I fix dinners, of course, three glider, one dog, one cat. I'm sure glad Ophelia doesn't need to eat every day.

I work in horticulture for a good-sized city, so any gardening -- I love to read and work HARD crosswords -- also draw and paint.

My News
Kioko and Washi came to live with me on 11/23/08: five-year old brothers. As of February '09, we're having great luck with bringing them all together into one happy little colony.

My Bio
Very old, b. 1957 in New Martinsville, WVa. Live in Central Texas now. I'm Mother to Ophelia, a 4-foot ball python; Domino, a regular cat; and Shikoni, Washi and Kioko, three lively gliders; and Step-Mother to Mike, a 13-year old former stray yellow shepherd. We and other humans all live together in quite surprising harmony.
